How do I enable the backlit keyboard on my mid 2010 13" MBP?

How do I enable the backlit keyboard on my mid 2010 13" MBP? running Windows 8.1? I DO have the latest Apple Support Files downloaded and installed. Everything works except for the illumination of the keyboard and the brightness controls. OS X version is Mavericks.

windows8.1 dont have official support so if it works with win8 then likely it will again when official support for win8.1 comes

How do I enable the use of a USB MIDI controller over ARD?

I'm running Ableton Live on my Macbook Pro and I'm controlling the MBP with my little Macbook. OK - all well and good. Full keyboard/trackpad control. The problem is that when I plug my uc-33e controller into the Macbook, the commands do not get through! How do I go about enabling this?

You are not going to be able to connect a controller to your MacBook and have that controller accessed by your MacBook Pro. That's just not possible, with any remote control software I know of and certainly not with ARD. You're going to have to connect the controller directly to the MBP for applications on that system to be able to access the hardware, unless the developer of the app or the controller provide some sort of remote access capability, something I've never seen.

How do I enable the Java Accessibilty Stuff?

Hi. I'm trying to make my application accessible via a screen reader to impaired users. Unfortunately, I'm not having any success whatsoever. If I didnt know Java had accessibility stuff built-in, I would assume that it was just not compatible at all with screen reader technology.
How do I enable the Java accessibility stuff so that UI components are accessible to a screen reader; they can be iterated over and get sensible names and/or descriptions of them?
I wrote a simple application, attached below, which just makes a demo UI from which I can start learning the basics of the accessibility stuff. Out of the box, the UI is completely opaque to a screen reader (I'm using the VoiceOver utility bundled with Mac OS X, which does ok with normal applications).
I tried setting things focusable to no avail, voice over cant cycle through the UI component using the normal keyboard short cuts, and nothing is spoken when I tab between components, despite some things having natural labels, like a menu, and some things, like the button, where i've set the accessible name and description on the accessible context of the component.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong or I just don't understand how the accessibility stuff works.
Could someone please shed some light on this so that I can make my application accessible to a screen reader?
Thanks.

        JPanel aContent = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

        aFrame.setVisible(true);
        aFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

Ok, so a very curious issue. If I comment out adding the menu bar to the window, ie comment out this line:
aFrame.setJMenuBar(aMenuBar);
The screen reader reads me back everything just like I would expect. I comment the line back in, and nothing, the application is completely invisible to the screen reader.
Anyone have any idea what this is about?

How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

The blue function keys currently do not work.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.

Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

If your keyboard is already paired with another device that is in range then you must unpair it first (see page of the keyboard manual).

How can I get the Voiceover Keyboard shortcuts to show up in a form in which I can copy

I have low vision & have been trying to learn to use Voiceover on both my iPhone & my Mac mini for months. Very frustrating.
1. How can I get the Voiceover keyboard shortcut commans to show up in a form in which I can copy & paste them into a pages document so I can print it out & use for quick reference?? The one that shows up when I press VO +HH won't let me copy & paste it, & it won't show up in the Help section no matter what subject I enter. The help topics shown do not correlate with the topics I'm entering. why is that??
2. Please make the cursor able to be wider, like in the software program Zoomtext, that I used when I had a PC. The razor-thin cursor (in this text box!) in Pages is impossible for me to see.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

You should be able to copy them from there.

Well, as an AT&T user, APN settings are governed by the carrier file, and we cannot change them. I've not used the configuration utility, so I'm "dumber" than you! See if this support document will help you out any. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4839.

How do I enable the passbook app in ios 6. Nothing happens when I click on it.

how do I enable the passbook app in ios 6? Nothing happens when I click on it.

Yes, you do need an antivirus app for iOS. However, they don't currently exist because Apple refuses to make their 'proprietary' technical OS specifics freely available as open source code or to any Antivirus companies, who could examine and potentially identify security holes. Many security problems have been identified by Apple and fixed as part of iOS updates in the past (details are readily available in the iOS update information) and this will likely be a bigger problem in the future as malware authors move toward the technology leader as a target. But right now you can't get an antivirus app for iOS which scans the iOS device wholesale. This is despite the fact that (legitimate) apps are available which can take control of the entire device, install apps, wipe them or the device, view information, etc (for example Sophos Mobile Control). SMC can be installed by tapping an email link to a website and then tapping 'OK' to a couple of dialogues.

How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)

Three things
1.How do I enable the startup sound on Mac OS 10.2.8(Jaguar)
I am using an iMac G4
I like the startup chime of mac osx but it doesn't seem to be chiming when I turn the computer on.
2. How do I get safari+flash player on 10.2.8
3. How do I update the computer (e.g. Windows update kind off thing)
Please help.
Cheers,
Mittens131

1. Make sure the volume is on. Check that the machine makes other sounds.
2. Here is a link for Safari for a Mac 10.2.8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2964
Though I'd be surprised if it would be very useful. Things have changed a lot on the internet since that came out. An old version of Firefox might be better. I don't know where you would get an old version of flash. It is an Adobe product.
3. There are no further updates to Jaguar 10.2 than you already have, 10.2.8 that was the last update.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:
